2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · PK67 RTZ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 4 November 2025 at 22,317 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history over the last five years, as the vehicle has failed to trigger any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation issues typically seen in SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,480 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 7,507 miles, representing a consistent pattern of roughly 1,800 miles per interval. This low usage suggests minimal wear on high-stress components like the engine drivetrain and suspension bushings. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the drying of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which the MOT does not fully detect. While the MOT record shows no structural or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. A buyer should check the tyres for flat spotting and inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers, which can develop surface corrosion or pitting when used infrequently. Additionally, verifying the underbody for any signs of early corrosion is prudent, as low mileage does not inherently protect the chassis from environmental factors over nearly a decade.
